What's the catch? This seems really cheap for a 22" touchscreen...

There isn't one. Iiyama are an excellent company and are producing some rather good monitors at the moment.

Does seem to good to be true

wonder how well these would work as a drawing device . . . graphics tablets are somewhat limited and Cyntiq monitor/tablets are radiculously priced for poor resolutions. This spec would be ideal.

Wow, that's an awesome price, wasn't expecting the res to be that high on it

Reports so far are quite good, They started reviewing this around November when the first test models were shipped out to the reviewers.

Apparently the screen is good quality, rather than being a resistive screen, which detects pressure, the T2250MTS has infrared transmitters and receivers around its perimeter, hence why it can keep such a high res. Screen is indented some 5mm from the bezel which houses the sensors, though apparently its not really noticable. Due to the sensors, you need to keep all fingers - except the two you're using - well away from the screen, otherwise the sensors become confused.

Colours and response times are simular if not the same as the other 22/24" models in the iiyama range.

Stand is firm and stops a great deal of any wobble (as you would expect from a touch screen) Stand has no height adjustment, but it does tilt and swivel.

Screen is high gloss (as you would expect due to making a hard finish) so can cause some reflection problems if you have a strong light source behind you.

Thats about as much general detail as I can find out about it

I really really want to try one of these out as a drawing tablet now.

Need some feedback for sure. Anyone found a review?

UberTiger · 2 Feb 2010 at 18:36

So can you use a stylus or pen on this or only fingers? Also any idea of the accuracy if you were to use a fine pointing device? If anyone can find a good vid demonstrating something like that, that would be ace.

BIGBC · 2 Feb 2010 at 18:48

It being an infrared array I would hope it is high accuracy and can use a stylus/pen.
Still really interested in this.

Hmmm

Doing some looking around:

A stylus slots into the bottom edge of the monitor, but this is designed only for fiddly operation. For most of the time, though, you'll want to use your fingertips, just as you would on an iPhone or iPod Touch.

Hovering your fingertip just above the screen is enough to pick up the cursor and drag it, but you can tap the screen to select, and double-tap to double-click.

During our testing we found the touchscreen was accurate, although we needed to resort to the stylus to tap small icons such as the buttons to minimise and maximise windows. However, finger-friendly programs like Microsoft Virtual Earth were far easier to control, responding instantly to our gestures. Due to the infrared sensors, you need to keep all fingers - except the two you're using - well away from the screen, otherwise the sensors become confused.

In terms of quality, we have no complaints about the T2250MTS. Colours are rich and accurate, viewing angles are good and there's no lag or ghosting in games or videos. However, the glossy surface finish is highly reflective and can be a problem if you can't position the screen away from lights or windows.

Seems like it could well work for what i need - using a stylus for high acurracy is a good sign for me.

thats really cheap

Thread bump:

I don't suppose you guys know if you can use two of these monitors attached to the same PC in clone mode, displaying something like a spreadsheet, and have it controlled from either monitor??

Thinking of a clean room application and this might fit the bill perfectly

thanks
